Super Bowl Odds
I've already made it clear in a variety of formats since March, but I believe the best chances for Super Bowl berths are the Cowboys and Chargers. The Chargers are the nearest thing to a lock to win their conference since the 09 Saints. But let's take a look at some odds.
AFC
The Chargers at 5:1 are a fantastic bet. They odds I would have liked to see, and you could have gotten better odds in March but sadly, Vegas has caught on and realized that Chargers have the best shot to reach the big game.
The second choice would Pittsburg at +570. This isn't bad but it would take about 7 or 8 to 1 for me to think about betting on the Steelers.
The face that the Jets and Ravens have similar odds to those two teams is a joke. Sucker bets.
For long odds, the Raiders have some value at 66 to 1. Twice the payoff as the Chiefs? Now it is unlikely that the Raiders win the Super Bowl, but there is value there.
NFC
The Cowboys are at +950. This is a pretty solid bet. I'd say their actual odds are about the same as Green Bay, who only give you +250 so this is probably the best bet on the board.
For longer odds, the Bears have a lot of value. This team was one game away last year and are probably better. They give you the 9th best odds at 18:1? Insane. I don't see them beating Dallas or Green Bay, but worse odds than "pencil us in at 6-10" Tampa Bay?

NFL Futures
Since my fantasy content has moved to http://www.fantasyfootballsportal.com/ this site will now just be a place for the lines. Starting off with the over-unders.
The following are slam dunks. Take them to the bank.
Chargers over 10 wins
Cowboys over 9 wins
Bucs under 8.5 wins
Chiefs under 8 wins
A few more that should be considered
Raiders over 7 wins
Bengals under 6 wins
Ravens under 11 wins
Jets under 10 wins
Bears over 9 wins
And now for the divisions
NFC South: Almost a toss up between the Saints and Falcons. Saints are better team, the slight favorite and the odds reflect that. There is no bet here.
NFC North: There is some value in the Bears at 6:1, but the Packers will still most likely win this division.
NFC East: The Cowboys, the likely champion, are sporting attractive 3:1 odds, the same as the Giants. Strongest bet you will find.
NFC West: This is another toss up division, this time between San Francisco and St Louis. The Niners have some value here at 2.5:1, whereas the Rams will only give you 1.5:1. This is a bet.
AFC West: Like the Bears, the Raiders have some value with outside chance and 6:1 odds. But at the end of the day, San Diego will come out on top.
AFC North: The Steelers, who most certainly will win, are only costing you 1:1.25, not nearly as bad as the odds the Chargers or Packers will give you. This is a decent betting opportunity.
AFC East: The Pats are once again the favorite, but their odds (1.7:1) aren't as attractive as the Steelers'. The Jest are an outside chance but I would want better than the 1.8:1 odds you can get.
AFC SOuth: These odds are off the board while Peyton Manning's injury is uncertain. Unless he misses a significant amount of time, the Colts will still win the division.
